An interesting pattern I've come across lately is a project where contributions are almost universally either rejected or rewritten (largely superficially) by the original author of the project. I think I dislike this far more than a lack of response, though I've experienced that as well.

I've done this. Had a pull request from a contributor that added a feature, but in return changed the API of my library almost completely, didn't account for many, many edge cases and had a couple of bugs. When I was done I had rewritten it completely, but I still attributed the change to the original contributor. In the end, I'm pretty sure I invested more time in it than he did, but fair is fair imo.
